Re: Air crew exposures, regulatory issues

Now, Otto, let's not let a little data stand in the way of another HP "Serious
Concern for Applepie & Motherhood" program.

By the way, 10 times that dose by X-ray produces health benefits, including
cancer prevention and remission, see 85 abstracts from one program:

and
http://cnts.wpi.edu/RSH/Docs/Liu-Munich/Liu_Munich_2000.htm

If 7.5 mGy is claimed to be too small to see any effects, let's just make a
linear projection to zero (from the beneficial effects of 75 mGy, course! :-)
